Emergency First Aid in The Workplace Certificate

Emergency First Aid Certification Course

First aid skills save lives. The first few minutes following an accident or other emergency are crucial and timely intervention can make all the difference.

Whatever your industry or professional background, knowing how to administer basic first aid will stand you in good stead to assist someone in need.

In this course, you will learn basic first aid techniques that you can use to treat casualties who are suffering from a variety of injuries and ailments, including burns, blood loss and shock.

You will learn how to assess an emergency situation, how to keep yourself safe and how to keep casualties as comfortable and safe as possible whilst waiting for professional help to arrive.

You Will Learn:

  • How to undertake a primary assessment of a casualty’s condition, how to employ the ABC protocol to gain an overview of the situation and how to place someone in the recovery position.
  • The purpose of CPR, when it is performed, how it is carried out and how the process must be modified to meet the needs of children, infants and pregnant women.
  • How to minimise blood loss if someone is bleeding, how to assess and bandage a wound, what to do if there is a foreign object embedded in a wound and how to identify and treat shock.
  • The difference between mild and severe cases of choking, how to identify instances of each and how to dislodge obstructions in both adults and children using appropriate combinations of back blows and abdominal thrusts.
  • How to cool and bandage a burn, how to minimise further skin damage, how to decide whether a burn warrants professional medical attention and what to bear in mind when assisting a casualty with chemical or electrical burns.
  • How to manage an incident, keep yourself and others safe when administering first aid and pass on relevant information to emergency services personnel.
  • How to identify the signs of a spinal injury, how to decide whether a head injury warrants professional medical attention and how to treat eye injury and irritation.
  • How to tell when someone has broken a bone, the symptoms and signs of a muscle sprain and how to help someone who has received an electric shock.
  • The most common symptoms of an epileptic attack, how to respond when someone has a seizure and the information you must record when someone has a fit.

The course is broken down into 10 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

The pass mark for the test is 70%.

Amazing course, easy to understand and very straight forward. It gives you a chance to review previous modules, also you are able to take notes and save them in your course profile, where you can check them at any time.

Along with the course, you get rewards for completing your course modules. It opens the door to a chance of doing something you like or changing your career, also for people that just want to get new skills in different areas.

Do it at your own pace from your own home, I usually do it on my days off. Totally worth it, I recommend it.

Sara Correia

At age 44, I took a notion to start a new career, so I booked a Travel & Tourism online course with New Skills Academy.

I was actually pretty nervous when I looked at the modules as it’s been years since I studied!

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the course flowed and how uncomplicated it was. The presentation of the course was easy to read and understand.

When I got to the final test, I was nervous, but had no need to be. It was a general test of knowledge and I passed with 70%. I feel proud!

Angela Wilson

Absolutely loved this course. The information provided is so easy to understand yet so vital to becoming a successful events planner/manager.

I enjoyed this course so much I completed it within 3 days and before finishing wanted to hop on Facebook and open a business. I didn’t by the way… I cannot wait to start putting my knowledge to good use, if you are planning a career in event management then the event management diploma is the way to go!

Not only have I learnt about planning, I now know the basics on starting a business and the dreaded health and safety regulations. So thankful I did this course, well worth it!

Michelle Britnor

Fantastic course. It has really given me a strong foundation to pursue my journey into event planning.

The course is concise and gets straight to the point. It breaks everything down into simple points that are easy to remember.

I would recommend this course to anyone and everyone looking to pursue a career within the events industry.

Michaela Miller

I have found this course very interesting. Even being a bride myself, you don't actually realise how much actually goes into planning a wedding. Every little detail goes into the course. I can’t wait to start putting my work into action - becoming a Wedding Planner and being part of a couple’s day. Helping them plan their most important day of their lives. It’s been interesting learning how other cultures plan and have their weddings, and how many different themes people choose from. Even to the honeymoon. So many things go into being a wedding planner, it’s not as simple as it seems.

Kelly Ford

Would recommend the course to anyone! Considering estate agency as a career gives a clear insight into the role and regulation and was easy to digest. I was able to easily fit this in with my busy work schedule. I was able to complete this course in less than a month which I originally expected to take a lot longer. The course material is really helpful and the assignments help you to identify if you have a clear understanding of what you have read and usually don't take too long to complete. I am now looking into doing a more advance course in estate agency and looking for a trainee position in my local area.
